The War Stage series is a retelling of the whole Gundam Wing series told from Duo's POV. The braided pilot's journey is full of pain and confusion which makes for a lot of angsty and often dark moments. Specially when he crashes against the walls erected around the Wing Pilot's heart or when he's met with the cruelty of war.

The first installment starts from the time in which Duo follows Heero to one of the boarding schools. Duo wants to save Heero from his own recklessness and therefore is set on getting through his barriers, whatever the cost. But the Deathscythe pilot hasn't realized yet he's playing a very dangerous game. After all, the Perfect Soldier doesn't react very well at being threatened by actual feelings...
